Contrary to popular opinion, spiritual belief is a choice. Do some research and find a religious tradition with ideas about an afterlife that appeal to you. Dig deep, go obscure. Follow your curiosity. If nothing comes of it but learning more about what other people believe, then hey, that's interesting in and of itself. The world we live in is obsessed with proof via scientific method. Every experience and belief within the scientific realm must be repeatable. But the human experience is so complicated and complex and vast that to base belief merely on the repeatable cuts out huge swaths of experience. Don't get me wrong, I am 100% for science--thank you, science, for making me not dead of cholera!--but for whatever reasons science has become a replacement for religion in a way it was never intended to be. A spiritual journey takes work, because it has its own methods for gaining knowledge. If you truly want to believe in an afterlife, you can obtain that belief. And if anyone says you shouldn't then they can fuck right off.

I'm not sure I get what you're saying. If something isn't repeatable, how would I repeat it? Just reading about the different things people came up with is meaningless if I have no way to tell whether they're just building castles in the air.

(Besides, believing in something just because I want it to be true would be a betrayal of just about everything I say in my stories.)

nayrt - They're all building castles in the air. Pick the castle you like most and go with it.
